Miami Beach Hotel Owner Can Dump Marriott, Judge Says

Law360, New York (May 21, 2013, 6:51 PM EDT) -- A New York state judge said Tuesday that the owner of a boutique Miami Beach hotel can kick out Marriott International Inc. as the swanky hotel's manager, but he stopped short of issuing a stronger, court-ordered heave-ho.

Judge Melvin L. Schweitzer said during a hearing in Manhattan that since Eden Roc LLP has told Marriott and affiliate Renaissance Hotel Management that they must leave the famed Eden Rock Renaissance Hotel they're currently managing, they have no choice but to leave.
